Flo-grown 195 Posted August 5, 2019 I was approved for WLS in 2005 and backed out 3 week from surgery date. I was scared and heard a lot of negative things. My weight has yo yoed since. I have asthma, high BP, sleep apnea, had knee surgery and constant back pain. I was also borderline diabetic. The surgeon who performed my gall bladder removal in Nov. 2018 suggested I reconsider WLS again. I attended his seminar and met with my PCP who pushed the Paleo diet to all of her patients. I tried it and was unsuccessful, she said she supported my decision and the rest of the process was easy. I have a great team, my PCP, surgeon and nutritionist were all helpful and supportive of my surgery.

Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 5, 2019 And may YOU make Goal and live life better, thinner and with less of you pushing down on your joints, with diminished pain. Don't have the BP but have a recently discovered Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm, stable but still lurking somewhere in my chest, otherwise we are SoulSisters in ailments, but my Testimony-- the pain drops down to more manageble, you move better if still a turtle🐢 pace and most iMPORTANT- you do feel better and face Life with new vigor. We'll never be unscarred but those are our Battle Ribbons, no matter what Life threw at Us, We Still Won This War! And remember always what HOPE stands for HOLD ON PAIN ENDS. Much love from me in Central Ohio, your Bari--Bud Frustr8📍😛📍 2 Lynda486 and Flo-grown reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djgirl19 276 Posted August 6, 2019 I brought it up once and my PCP said “ sure... I’m ok with it” and then moved on to the pre surgery process/seminar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
